See exactly how Alcor’s dues work, what they cover, and how they scale by age. Compare Neuro and Whole Body preservation, understand member benefits, and start your membership when it makes the most sense for you.
A large number of Alcor members secure their cryonics arrangements using a life insurance policy. In simple terms, you choose a coverage amount that will pay Alcor’s preservation fees, and you make small monthly or annual payments – often comparable to a streaming subscription or a few cups of coffee a week. When you pass away, the insurance company pays the agreed amount directly to Alcor, ensuring your preservation is fully funded.
Covering Cryonics for Less Than You Think
Because life insurance spreads the cost over time, it opens the door for people of all ages and income levels to participate in cryonics without the need for significant payment up front. Policies can be tailored to your needs, and many members secure their arrangements for surprisingly low premiums by starting at an early age. This simple, well-established financial tool allows you to plan for your future in a way that’s both practical and accessible, so that your choice to be preserved is not constrained by immediate financial concerns.

Alcor’s membership structure utilizes “Age-Based Dues.” Alcor’s Age-Based Dues are determined when someone first becomes a member. The Age-Based Dues schedule for 2025 is:
| Age Range | Dues |
|---|---|
| 0-17 (Minor) | $60 |
| 18 (New Member) | $200 |
| 19+ (Age Based) | Current age x $15 |
The Annual Dues Multiplier will be evaluated annually by Alcor’s Board and Executive Leadership. In 2025 the Annual Dues Multiplier is $15, multiplied by a Member’s age when signing our Membership agreement. At the end of each year, the Alcor Board and Executive Leadership will determine if, and by how much, the Annual Dues Multiplier will increase.
Yes, this is possible for non-Lifetime Members; Alcor can and has increased dues in the past under the previous model and agreement. Alcor’s aims to minimize the potential of increasing dues for Members in the future by growing our Membership, resulting in overall dues revenue increases.
Alcor is a federally tax-exempt, 501(c)(3) corporation, and your dues may be tax-deductible. Any time you want to review Alcor’s tax status, you can visit the IRS’s website at https://apps.irs.gov/app/eos/ and enter our EIN 23-7154039. Dues and donations may be tax-deductible if they are made before the close of the tax year. Alcor cannot give tax advice, so we encourage you to speak with a tax professional regarding your dues and taxable income.
Existing discounts will be grandfathered if a current Member signs a new agreement in the calendar year 2022; however, discounts will not be offered with Age-Based Dues. The dues structure incorporates lower dues for students and saves students more money each year they remain a Member. For example, if Suzy signs up when she is 18 years old and pays $200 in dues, she pays less than the previous student discount. Additionally, as Suzy gets older and time passes, her $200 in dues will be less financially burdensome years or decades from now due to inflation and increased wages.
